ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) Sean Covington kicked three field goals and Josh McNeil caught a touchdown pass to help Team Highlight beat Team Nitro 16-3 on Friday in the Under Armour All-America Game.
McNeil, a tight end from Durham N.C., caught a 6-yard scoring pass from Salt Lake City quarterback Cooper Bateman early in the second quarter to give Highlight a 10-0 lead. Bateman and McNeil both committed to Alabama at one point, but McNeil is currently favoring LSU.
Team Nitro cut it to 10-3 on Ryan Santoso' s 44-yard field goal, but the 270-pound kicker who is committed to Minnesota missed two other field goals.
Covington, a UCLA commit out of St. Petersburg, kicked field goals of 31, 30 and 25 yards and also averaged 40.8 yards on eight punts.
Tampa cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III, headed to the University of Florida, was selected the MVP of Team Highlight, and Auburn, Ala., linebacker Reuben Foster was the MVP for Team Nitro. Foster committed to Auburn, but is now looking at Georgia, Alabama and Washington
There were five commitments in the game: Jackson, La., linebacker Kendell Beckwith committed to LSU over Alabama; New York City defensive end Ebenezer Ogundeko committed to Clemson over Florida and Syracuse; Lawrenceville, Ga., linebacker Trey Johnson chose Ohio State over Auburn; Mission Viejo, Calif., cornerback Max Redfield committed to Notre Dame over USC and Ohio State; and Seffner, Fla., safety Leon McQuay III committed to USC over Vanderbilt and Florida State.
Team Nitro rushed for minus-21 yards and threw four interceptions. Team Highlight's quarterbacks combined to go 10 of 32 for 93 yards and lost two fumbles.
Wide receiver Robert Foster, an Alabama commit from Monaca, Pa., caught four passes for 55 yards to lead Team Highlight, while LaQuon Treadwell had six catches for 46 yards for Team Nitro. Treadwell, who is from Crete, Ill., is considering Mississippi, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.

Not a lot of screencaps today as the two teams cruised through a rather uneventful first eight innings. You can see James Shields' idiotic balk over on our VIDEO PAGE in which he let in the go-ahead run. But you can also see Evan Longoria's game-tying single in the ninth…

Hardworking men and women of the maritime industry make huge sacrifices to provide the world with a way of life to which it has become accustomed. Spending many months on board a vessel, away from family and friends, mariners face dangers and challenges unique to their round-the-clock profession.
Away from the support of their local communities, SCI gives mariners a place to feel "at home." The Institute offers a warm welcome at a seafarers' center in the Port of New York and New Jersey. SCI also meets mariners right where they work—aboard cargo ships and on the vessels that travel the inland river waterways of the United States and the Gulf of Mexico.
As part of its round-the-clock ministry, SCI maintains a staff of professional chaplains with interfaith and cross-cultural backgrounds. Chaplains and volunteers assist thousands of mariners each year, offering a hand of friendship and pastoral care. They also bring with them practical services like wire transfer forms, calling cards, and cell phones to connect with loved ones at home.
SCI provides a wide spectrum of support services—chaplaincy, legal aid, and continuing maritime education. Whenever a mariner connects with SCI, he or she can count on a comprehensive response.

Sophomore Ronea Saunders has picked up yet another Northeast Conference honor for the 2013 Indoor Track and Field season, the league announced Thursday night.
In addition to earning the Most Outstanding Field Performer of the NEC Championships, Saunders also nabbed a spot on the All-Conference First Team for her gold-medal performance in the high jump event. Saunders cleared 1.70 meters (5' 7") at the championship meet, three inches below her season high of 1.78 meters (5' 10").
During her sophomore campaign, Saunders has also earned two NEC Field Athlete of the Week awards on Jan. 22 and Feb. 5.
Following a successful 2013 indoor season, Saunders looks to continue her success in the outdoor season. Last year, she won the high jump competition at the outdoor NECs with 1.75 meters, a mark she has already surpassed this year.
Saunders and the rest of the Blue Devils are set to continue competition on Friday, Feb. 22 and Saturday, Feb. 23 at the New England Indoor Championships at Boston University in Boston, MA.

The Network
A Nationwide Platform for Science Discovery
The Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) is a high-performance, unclassified national network built to support scientific research. Funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science (SC) and managed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, ESnet provides services to more than 40 DOE research sites, including the entire National Laboratory system, its supercomputing facilities, and its major scientific instruments. ESnet also connects to 140 research and commercial networks, permitting DOE-funded scientists to productively collaborate with partners around the world.

A Robust Network for Next-Gen Science
Spurred by the growth of large international collaborations in high energy physics, climate science, and genomics, the research community's needs to manage and transfer large quantities of data are exploding in scope and complexity. Currently, ESnet carries around 20 petabytes of data monthly. The level of traffic over the ESnet network has increased an average of 10 times every 4 years, propelled by the rising tide of data produced by more powerful supercomputers, global collaborations that can involve thousands of researchers, and specialized facilities like the Large Hadron Collider and digital sky surveys. It's expected that ESnet will need to carry over 100 petabytes of data per month by 2016.
The Fifth Generation of ESnet
In 2009, ESnet received $62 million in American Research and Recovery Act (ARRA) funding from the Department of Energy Office of Science to invest in its next-generation infrastructure to provide the necessary support for research discovery in this new era of data-intensive science. After three years of planning and deployment, ESnet5 – ESnet's fifth-generation network – launched in November 2012. The network was built in collaboration with Internet2, an advanced network, which connects the nation's research universities. Leveraging its Recovery Act grant from the Department of Commerce, Internet2 and ESnet pooled its stimulus resources together to deploy a massive 8.8 Terabit network built using Ciena's 6500 Packet-Optical Platform which the two organizations will equally share to serve their respective communities. To create the routing platform, ESnet deployed the Alcatel-Lucent 7750 Service Router. The new network provides an immediate tenfold increase in bandwidth to DOE research sites at the same cost as providing 10G connections – with the ability to now scale to 44 times the current capacity.
See the Difference 100 Gbps Can Make
Compare the resolution of these two models of the early stages of the Universe. Approximately 13.7 billion years ago, the Universe was almost homogenous—meaning that every location in the cosmos was similar. Today, this is no longer the case. The modern Universe is rich in structures that include galaxies; clusters of gravitationally bound galaxies; galaxy super-structures called "walls" that span hundreds of millions of light-years; and the relatively empty spaces between superstructures, called voids. All the while, the Universe has been expanding, and in recent epochs, the expansion rate has been accelerating. This simulation starts from a nearly homogeneous Universe and reproduces the observable properties of today's objects. Researchers are using this data to understand how the Universe has changed over billions of years.
A 100Gbps Reconfigurable Testbed
In addition to its production ESnet5 network, ESnet has also created a national-scale network testbed, available to researchers and industry for experiments with new network technologies, protocols, and applications at 100 Gbps. The testbed supports research including multi-layer multi-domain hybrid networks, network protocols, component testing for future capabilities, protection and recovery, automatic classification of large bulk data flows, high-throughput middleware and applications, and as well as other innovative networking experiments. ESnet accepts new proposals to use the testbed every six months.
Dark Fiber Testbed
ESnet purchased almost 13,000 miles of dark fiber from a commercial carrier for DOE use. By creating a research testbed and lighting the dark fiber with optical gear, ESnet will enable network researchers to safely experiment with disruptive technologies that will make up the next generation Internet in a production-like environment at 100 Gbps speeds.

Director Susanne Bier's latest film, "In a Better World," juxtaposes a number of conflicts of varying scope to explore just how civilized we really are. Many of the showdowns propose interesting moral questions, but the film falls apart as she tries to draw parallels and analogies that don't hold up.
Mikael Persbrandt is a force as Anton, a surgeon who splits his time between caring for patients in an African refugee camp, and staying in his family's summer home in Denmark, so he can be close to his sons and estranged wife Marianne. He's the film's moral compass, spinning around in search on magnetic north. He's strong and smart and loving and charitable and forthright--you'd walk through a wall of fire with him.
But when he tries to teach his son--a victim of daily abuse at the hands of a school bully--that violence is wrong, the lesson rings hollow. Ignoring the provocations of some buffoon with whom you have a chance encounter is one thing. But expecting a kid not to strike back at his tormentor after the school and his parents have failed to protect him, even though they know the abuse is taking place…? This is in no way to condone or encourage violence, but at some point, tragically, it can seem to be the only option.
Later, Anton is confronted with a monster who mutilates pregnant women for sport, his son is involved in two bloody acts of revenge, he begs his wife for forgiveness—he's involved in almost every conflict of consequence in the film, trying to find his way.
In her director's statement, Bier said she sought to ask "whether our own 'advanced' culture is the model for a better world, or whether the same disarray found in lawlessness is lurking beneath the surface of our civilization. Are we immune to chaos, or obliviously teetering on the verge of disorder?"
We are unequivocally living in a better world, to suggest otherwise is misguided. "Our own 'advanced' culture" is in fact a model in as much as we have developed the political and physical infrastructure that greatly lowers the stakes for life's daily confrontations. Tragically, many of these advancements were made at the expense of the blood and treasure of the African people, but the world today is infinitely less violent.
"That modernity has brought us terrible violence, and perhaps that native peoples lived in a state of harmony that we have departed from" is a common misconception, declared Harvard University Professor Steven Pinker during a 2007 TED talk. "Today we are probably living in the most peaceful time in our species' existence."
Bier should watch it, she would no doubt feel better about things.
Despite a muscular and charismatic leading man, and some morally provocative set pieces, the moments "In a Better World" fails to offer a cohesive thesis.

I know I've been saying for quite some time that I am going to publish a post with our favorite iPhone and iPad apps for the kiddos, but the problem is that I keep finding more to add to the list! For now I'll share our latest favorite – discovered just today – and I promise to publish a "top list" soon!
From LeapFrog comes Scout's ABC Garden, available now in the Apple Store for just $3.99.
Our lovable puppy pals have gone digital in this first game of an upcoming LeapFrog series designed specifically for the iPad™, iPhone® and iPod touch®! With Scout's ABC Garden, parents can personalize the learning by choosing either Scout or Violet and "teaching" them their child's name and favorite things. And as children follow their furry friend's lead to alphabet fun, they can collect achievements for learning letters!
We had the opportunity to preview Scout's ABC Garden this afternoon. Josh, Ben and Noah were all able to set up profiles where they taught their newest furry friend their name, favorite colors, favorite colors and favorite foods. Being that all three of them wanted a turn to play the game, we have yet to discover how these fun facts will play a role in learning and playing throughout the game, but each of the boys are excited to find out.
One of the things that I love about this app is that there are three different challenge levels, so all three of the boys can play at their own level. In levels one and two, Noah and Ben started out matching uppercase letters in the Letter Garden. In level three, however, Josh had to match uppercase letters with lowercase letters.
Being that the app is geared for ages 2-4, Josh did become a bit bored after just a few minutes, but still enjoyed trying a new game for my sake. Ben and Noah, on the other hand, played for quite some time. They mostly enjoyed playing fetch with Scout, counting bubbles, and watching the colorful musical notes.
It will be fun to see how the game develops past letter matching in the Letter Garden, but for now Ben and Noah are hooked!
Win it!
Five of you will be able to try the app free of charge, courtesy of LeapFrog! Just leave me a comment telling me about one of your kiddos' favorite apps. On Sunday night I'll choose five lucky readers' comments and each will receive a gift code so they can download this app for their own preschooler on their iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone.
Watch for more of our favorite apps and a big announcement… coming soon!

Recipe: Patricia Wells's Risotto
Saffron Risotto
- Yield:Makes 4-6 servings.
- About 5 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
- A pinch (about ¼ teaspoon) saffron threads
- 4 tablespoons (2 ounces) unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 shallots, minced
- Sea salt to taste
- 1 1/2 cups Italian Arborio rice
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus additional for the table
In a large saucepan, heat the stock and keep it simmering, at barely a whisper, while you prepare the risotto.
In a measuring cup with a spout, combine ½ cup of the hot stock and the saffron. Stir to infuse and set aside.
In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons of the butter, the oil, shallots, and salt over moderate heat. Cook, stirring, until the shallots are soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. (Do not let the shallots brown.) Add the rice, and stir until the rice is well coated with the fats, glistening and semitranslucent, 1 to 2 minutes. (This step is important for good risotto: the heat and fat will help separate the grains of rice, ensuring a creamy consistency in the end.)
When the rice becomes shiny and partly translucent, add a ladleful of the stock. Cook, stirring constantly, until the rice has absorbed most of the stock, 1 to 2 minutes. Add another ladleful of the simmering stock, and stir regularly until all of the broth is absorbed. Adjust the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer. The rice should cook slowly and should always be covered with a veil of stock. Repeat the procedure, stirring frequently and tasting regularly, until the rice is almost tender but firm to the bite, about 17 minutes total. Add the saffron stock at the end. The risotto should have a creamy, porridge like consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the cheese. Cover and let stand off the heat for 2 minutes, to allow the flavor to blend. Taste for seasoning. Transfer to warmed shallow soup bowls, and serve immediately, passing additional cheese.

Canucks GM Mike Gillis won't be stampeded into changing plan: 'This team as good' as 2011 Cup finalists
'We have a potential deal in place with one team,' general manager says of a Roberto Luongo deal
Vancouver Canucks general manager Mike Gillis holds forth for the media on opening day of the NHL team's training camp on Sunday, Jan. 13, 2013 at Rogers Arena.
Photograph by: Darryl Dyck , Canadian Press
VANCOUVER — Like the concept of a Coach of the Year one season who gets fired midway through the next because (evidently) he suffered a sudden and incurable attack of stupidity, the notion that Mike Gillis no longer knows how to manage a National Hockey League team does not strike me as terribly sensible.
Wherever you think he found the Vancouver Canucks team that won the last two Presidents' Trophies in a row, and got to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final in 2011 — whether you are from the ever-popular "inheritance" school (Brian Burke and Dave Nonis handed him the nucleus) or whether you think he has done pretty well, with assistant Laurence Gilman's help, at re-signing and extending that core and picking up a piece here and there to enhance it while it matured — you will grudgingly admit that it's not such a bad thing to have won more regular season games than any team except San Jose during his four-plus seasons in Vancouver.
Has their draft record during Gillis's time here been pretty awful? Yes, with the exception of his initial first-rounder, Cody Hodgson, whose trade last spring yielded Zack Kassian, who scored a goal and fought Edmonton's Ben Eager on Sunday, offering a rare glimpse of the potential the Canucks had hoped to be seeing more regularly by now.
Would Gillis have been any further ahead if he had dropped a grenade into the scouting department upon his arrival here in 2008, and hired a whole new staff? Doubtful. Drafting late is a crapshoot.
Has the Ryan Kesler injury reverberated throughout the lineup so thoroughly that it has exposed all the places the Canucks are weak on the forward lines? Indubitably.
Has Gillis's inability to trade Roberto Luongo for a second-line centre exacerbated the shortcomings of his forwards, or is it a good thing he didn't trade Luongo, given how much the Canucks might depend on goaltending this season, or would they not be as reliant on goaltending if they could score more, or ... which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Did Gillis inherit a pretty darned good nucleus from Burke and then Nonis? Yes, he did.
"But inheriting something and making it better is also okay," Gillis said Monday in an hour-long interview that was set up before the Canucks' two opening-weekend losses.
He knows that every one of the questions above is being asked, exhaustively, by writers and broadcasters and fans as this Canucks team lurches through early days of this 48-game season.
But Gillis, maddeningly to some, has his plan for the team and the organization, and makes it clear he's not going to be stampeded into deviating from it by pressure from the outside.
For instance: how likely is it both Cory Schneider and Roberto Luongo will remain happy campers sharing a job that was supposed to be Schneider's by now, with Luongo starting somewhere else?
"Well, they're both professionals," Gillis said. "You know, there is an element of professionalism that goes along with your entitlement to the kind of money you get paid. And having both of them may give us the best opportunity to win — I don't know."
Why he hasn't already dealt Luongo is simple.
"Roberto has a no-trade, so in discussions prior to the lockout, he had a say in where he was prepared to go. Once the lockout starts, you're not permitted to even talk about player transactions, subject to huge fines and loss of draft picks. Then the lockout ends and suddenly, you're trying to make a decision in four or five days about a premier player in this league, and it's tough to make a trade of this magnitude in eight months, let alone four days. So we have him here, and we're happy having him here.
"There wasn't really time to do anything but this. And we're going to let it play out. Lots of stuff is going to happen here in the first month."
The Kesler injuries — and to a lesser extent, one to the erratic David Booth — have meant that the first month may be more painful than it might have been otherwise.
"The reason professional sports are so great is that you're aways dealing with human frailty," Gillis said.
Kesler and Booth are a few weeks away, at minimum, from returning. In the meantime, the Canucks are apt to look like a shadow of the team that was one win away from the Cup just one full season ago.
"I think this team is as good," Gillis said. "I think our defence is as good, I think Jason Garrison has a chance to be a real good player with Alex Edler — they eat minutes, they're big guys.
"But you have to avoid injuries, and you have to have great goaltending. That's what L.A. got last year. They wouldn't have even been close to being in the playoffs if Jonathan Quick was not the best player in the National Hockey League last year. And they get in the playoffs, avoid injuries, play the same six defenceman all the way through, some guys rise to the occasion, they get good matchups and great goaltending ..."
And win the Stanley Cup.
"The way I see it, if you're constantly knocking on the door, sooner or later the puck doesn't hit the post but goes in. Your guy doesn't get hurt but someone on the opposition does."
Gillis doesn't spend a lot of time ruing draft-day decisions. He knows the Canucks have no can't-miss, whiz-bangs coming up — "You're going to get good players if you lose in this business, that's the way it's set up," he said. "We've been a good team" — but thinks they have a handful of good young prospects percolating in college, and in the minors, paying dues. Just not ready yet.
"You trade away picks when you're trying to win a Stanley Cup, not just make the playoffs. You give up young assets to try to get to the next level. Would we do it again? Certain things for sure. Other things, in hindsight, probably not.
"But it's kept us near the top of the league."
The Luongo trade, or non-trade, which has taken on a life of its own with the way Schneider started the season (five goals on 14 shots before being pulled Saturday), could happen soon, or in a month, or not at all.
"We have a potential deal in place with one team that has to do something with another player that they have — and it's not who anybody thinks it is — and so we have to wait. (But) we've been offered packages that don't fit what our plan is, what we need," said Gillis.
Like, how?
"Excess salary coming back with a [throw-in] player who can't play in our lineup. They say, 'OK, we'll do this, but you've got to take this.' Well, we're not taking it. We've had lots of proposals like that with good pieces that can help us but the other part doesn't help us, and oftentimes they have term attached to them, so we'd just be turning around and buying out a guy.
"I'd rather keep the guy we know, who's a good person."
That Luongo has been a prince through this whole trade/no trade fiasco goes without saying, but Gillis said it anyway.
"We have a really good player here who brings a tremendous amount to the team, his professionalism, his willingness to work — he's the kind of player that changes the culture on a team and shows players what it means to be an elite-level player," he said.
If that sounds like a sales pitch, it probably is. It's also, quite possibly, true.

'Only connect'; helping students transfer knowledge into and out of the geoscience classroom
Mary E Savina
April 2005
Geological Society of America Abstracts with Programs - vol.37, no.5, pp.10.
Abstract: One of the learning elements we value most highly is students' ability to transfer knowledge from one context to another. Bransford et al. (2000, How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School) cites these factors as particularly important in helping students transfer knowledge and skills: assessing and working with students' background knowledge and misconceptions; motivating students by asking them to use their knowledge to help others; presenting interesting problems in multiple contexts; asking students to devise and test problem-solving tools; and promoting habits of metacognition through frequent feedback. In geoscience, transfer can be relatively simple (for instance, asking students both to write about and to sketch the sequence of sediments in a floodplain with distance from the river). It can also be more complex, as in the expectation that students will know how to apply the laws of thermodynamics to petrologic systems. Transfer of skills and knowledge in and out of geoscience classrooms is complicated by the difference between abstract principles (emphasized in many mathematics and physics courses, for instance) and the concrete examples used in many geoscience contexts. It is also complicated by interesting disjunctions in timing of particular content between geoscience and other disciplines. For instance, phase diagrams and related thermodynamic concepts appear in second-level mineralogy classes in geoscience and in senior level courses in chemistry. Geoscience faculty can become even more intentional about helping undergraduate students make the connections that will help them integrate knowledge of various types and develop the intellectual agility we value.

| 2.2°C Belfast
Thousands of people have attended a memorial service to mark 25 years since the Hillsborough disaster claimed the lives of 96 Liverpool football fans.
Loved ones of those who died were joined at Liverpool FC's Anfield home by players, club officials and ordinary fans to mark today's emotional anniversary.
The 96 Liverpool fans died in the crush on the Leppings Lane terraces at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough stadium after going to see their team play Nottingham Forest in an FA Cup semi-final on April 15 1989.
As the families of those who did not return home took their places in reserved seats on Anfield's famous Spion Kop for the start of the service, the crowd got to their feet as one with a roar of approval and a huge ovation from all four sides of the ground.
There were also loud cheers and clapping for the gathering of past and present Anfield greats who attended, including current club captain Steven Gerrard, Kenny Dalglish, manager at the time of the disaster, Ian Rush, Phil Thompson, Alan Hansen and Graeme Souness.
More recent stars Jamie Carragher, Robbie Fowler and Steve McManaman also paid their respects, along with Howard Kendall, Everton's manager in 1989, and current Everton boss Roberto Martinez, who gave a reading.
Liverpool's first team manager Brendan Rodgers and Leigh MP Andy Burnham also addressed the 24,000-strong crowd, the latter receiving a standing ovation in contrast to t he 20th memorial service in 2009 when he was booed and jeered at. Since then he became instrumental in the process of securing new inquests into Britain's worst sporting disaster.
On the pitch, thousands of football scarves were laid out in the shape of "96", donated from fans and clubs across the UK and beyond after an appeal from Liverpool FC for scarves to show a symbol of unity across fan rivalries.
Traditional football hymn Abide With Me was sung before the stadium fell silent as the names of the 96 fans were read out.
At each name a light was lit, one by one, on a large sculpture entitled the Band of Life, until all the lights were illuminated.
As the time reached 3.06pm, the exact moment the match was abandoned while the tragedy unfolded, a minute's silence began in the stadium as well as elsewhere in the city.
The silence ended with a round of applause, as across the city bells tolled 96 times at churches and civic buildings.
Martinez said he was 15 when the disaster happened.
He said: "We could not believe the pain and horror that the families would get by receiving the news that their loved ones would not be coming home. Would not be coming home from a football match. How can you die by watching a football match?
"That was not right or fair what happened and afterwards was not right or fair either."
To a huge cheer, Martinez added: "The authorities took on the wrong city if they thought they were going to get away with it."
He said the Hillsborough Family Support Group, which led the campaign for new inquests, was a remarkable group of people.
He said: "I know, I don't have to tell you, Everton are with you, you know that."
Mr Rodgers said his biggest inspiration as manager was each time he came to Anfield and seeing the names of the 96 on the Hillsborough Memorial.
He told the victims' families: "I feel very humble to be in your company.
"You are the real inspiration for us. Your courage, fortitude, resilience and love for the people you lost, it's what inspires me, every day, as the manager of Liverpool Football Club.
"Thank you for the inspiration you give us all. You'll never walk alone."
Trevor Hicks, president of the Hillsborough Family Support Group (HFSG) said Mr Burnham's involvement led to the Independent Panel Report and the quashing of the original 1991 inquest verdicts in the High Court in 2012.
Mr Hicks, who lost his daughters, Victoria, 15, and Sarah, 19, in the tragedy, paid tribute to all the families involved.
"We made it all happen," he said. "We stood together. We pulled, we pushed we refused to lie down, we refused to go away, which is something that annoyed an awful lot of people.
"We made all this happen, we the families of the 96."
The service concluded with the gospel choir and the entire crowd on its feet to sing the fans' anthem, You'll Never Walk Alone as 96 red balloons were released to float into the sky.
Some of those who attended the service are due to be witnesses in the new inquest which began last month and resumes next week.

Leave a legacy
Although mental illness will affect more people than cancer, research into mental health problems receives a small fraction of the funds.
Facts alone are only part of the story. We at the Mental Health Foundation are passionate and determined in pursuit of our vision – we want to beat mental illness. Our research finds real and effective treatments. But we also want to prevent mental health problems and we give people real ways to help themselves stay mentally fit and healthy.
Our work is life changing, and lifesaving, and we are committed to it
Our work cannot, and will not, stop until we realise our vision of a world where the suffering caused by mental health problems is finally ended. So, after you have provided for your loved ones, we hope you will consider adding a gift in your Will to the Mental Health Foundation. We really do depend on these very special gifts so we can continue our work for a mentally healthy future for all.
What are the options?
Every kind of gift is hugely appreciated. You don't need to leave a large sum – a gift in your Will no matter how small can make a big impact on our work. Many people choose to leave a residuary gift (a share of an estate) as it usually maintains or increases value over time, but every single gift is welcomed. You have our assurance that your gift will be administered in a professional and sensitive manner. It is important to remember that every gift from a Will that we receive is free from inheritance tax.
"I am leaving a gift to the Mental Health Foundation in my Will because I believe in its excellence and its ability to be a force for change in mental health across the UK. Its research and campaigning work are exemplary." - Hywel
How to word your Will
It's really straightforward to include a gift to Mental Health Foundation in your Will. All you have to do is give your solicitor our registered address and charity numbers:
Mental Health Foundation, Colechurch House, 1 London Bridge Walk, London, SE1 2SX .
Registered charity no 801130 (England and Wales) and SC039714 (Scotland).
Amending an existing Will?
Have you already made a Will? You can add the Mental Health Foundation into your Will by completing a codicil. A codicil is a document which changes or additions are made to an existing Will and must be read in conjunction with it. We always recommend you contact a solicitor if you wish to draw up a codicil.
"My concern about mental health comes from personal experience - as a sufferer and as a volunteer in a mental health information project. I support a number of charities, but I'm particularly impressed with the Mental Health Foundation in its unbiased, open-minded search for appropriate therapies." - Siobhan
How to get in touch
We have further information about how to leave a gift in your Will, which we would be delighted to provide you with. If you would like this information or have any questions on leaving a gift in your will to the Mental Health Foundation or would like to talk about our work, do contact our dedicated supporter care number on 020 7803 1121 or email [email protected].
We're around Monday to Friday during office hours, and if you call at another time please leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
Whatever you decide, thank you so much for taking the time to consider adding the Mental Health Foundation to your Will.
Your last wishes
As you consider how best to care for the needs of your family and those you care about you may also wish to consider expressing your last wishes. As a valued supporter of Mental Health Foundation you understand how all gifts can make a difference. Donations in memory or in lieu of flowers can be a wonderful way for family and friends to celebrate and honour your life. We can also set up a Tribute Fund in memory of your next of kin. If you would like to discuss this please do get in touch.
"I've lived with depression on and off for the whole of my adult life. What got me through was the information and podcasts from the Mental Health Foundation. It made me realise that the way I was feeling could happen to anyone and that I am not alone." - Ann

- This update has no replies.
I've been contemplating the surgery for years. I finally went through with it on Sept 14,2020. Five days postop. I think I maybe dehydrated. I find it so hard to drink more than several ounces in a day of any liquid. I had sipped some egg drop broth yesterday to try to force in protein, and I could've sworn that I had exploded my pouch. So painful. Since my vital signs are fine I'm sure everything is ok. Lol· 2 replies
Hi its common to feel that liquids are hard. Im almost three weeks post op and still struggling too! You arent alone 👍🏼
Hello Tarotcardreader thank you for this, as today I have been feeling a bit sad wondering if I did the right thing and if it was even worth it. I am now 6 days post op and have not not lost any weight in the past 3 days when I was steadily losing. Today, I noticed a one pound gain. I don't know if it is what I learned called a STALL. I read that some people go through these weeks to months to years later and am afraid that with me it already started.
Still dont feel skinny/thin..wonder when that is going to happen.· 4 replies
I don't "feel" skinny/thin either but I know I am just by looking in a full length mirror! I remember one time I was in TJMAXX and passed a mirror and saw myself from the side. I had to stop and take another look because I couldn't believe that was me. Actually, I never felt "morbidly obese" either. I just knew I was by looking at the size of my clothing and the number on the scale!
Same here.... I remember the first time i caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror in a mall.... i had to back up and i started crying ... I could not believe it was me. that was way back in 2012ish.... when i was 143#..... now at 120# even though the pants size says 0-2..I still don't see it. I know i have body dysmorphia
It is a very odd thing- also wondering when it comes around because, some days I feel fatter than ever.
Lord yes... some days i feel huge.... Other days, i'm like, dang i look good... but mostly fat

Part 10: Sneaky Shooter - Stealthily Adding Nitrous
Packin' Horsepower in Your Air Cleaner
Say what you will, but horsepower is horsepower, period. Some guys feel it should come solely from compression, camshafts, and carburetion. That's fine and I used to agree with that . . . to an extent. Personally, now I don't care how a car develops horsepower, as long as it does.
With that in mind, the stock engine in the Valiant didn't possess enough of that tire-frying, rear-end blowing, push-you-back-in-the-seat power we were longing for. Before you get all bottles are for babies, man, let me say one thing--grow up. Is it better to get beaten by that punk kid in his Camaro or to have a sneaky shot of giggle juice hidden in the car? I vote for the latter.
Nitrous oxide is one of those things you can see as soon as you open the hood. This has presented problems in the past for the guy who doesn't like to show all his cards when he gets to the game. Let's face it, it's hard to hide a nitrous plate and solenoids underneath a carburetor. You can't pass the plate off as a spacer if there are braided steel lines attached to it.
When we decided to put nitrous on the Valiant, we wanted to conceal it as best we could. This meant no plates. We contacted Holley Performance and ordered their Top Shot system, which Holley markets as its easiest to install N.O.S. kit. From the looks of all the parts and the mounting procedure, we think they're correct. The Top Shot kit is an adjustable unit, capable of horsepower gains ranging from 75 to 150 hp. For engines like the one in the Valiant, this seemed like the perfect fit. We knew right off the bat we would deviate from the instructions . . . just a little. Holley includes a bracket for the nitrous and fuel solenoids that mounts to a carb mounting stud. That was fine, but we wanted to conceal our nitrous kit completely; this meant hiding the solenoids. So, we actually mounted them to the bottom side of our air-cleaner base. This worked well because we used a recessed base, which gave us the room to mount them, and the recess was low enough that you can't see them. Instead of telling you how we did it, we'll let you take a look for yourself and see how we did it--if you can.
We bet you want to know how it works, don't you? I am smiling, but we'll give you the numbers when we print our story about going to the track. Stay tuned.
Fuelish EndeavorBefore you even consider a nitrous setup, you better have a fuel supply to handle it. Normally, a larger nitrous setup requires its own dedicated fuel system. Since we do not plan on hitting the stock engine with enough squeeze to make a loud ka-boom, we made sure our fuel system would be adequate. Also, a dedicated fuel system with a noisy electric pump may give the guy in the other lane an idea that something is up. Remember, we want to be sneaky about this.

Best known for his exploration and science photography, George Steinmetz sets out to reveal the few remaining secrets in our world today: remote deserts, obscure cultures, and new developments in science and technology.
A regular contributor to National Geographic magazine, Steinmetz has examined subjects ranging from global oil exploration and the latest advances in robotics to the innermost stretches of the Sahara and the little-known tree house people of Irian Jaya, Indonesia. For the German and French editions of GEO magazine, he has documented the Salt Desert of Iran and crossed the Empty Quarter of Saudi Arabia. He also received a grant from the National Science Foundation to photograph the polar desert of Antarctica.
Since his first assignment for National Geographic in 1987, Steinmetz has completed more than 20 major essays for the magazine, including three covers.
Steinmetz's expeditions to the Sahara and Gobi deserts were featured on National Geographic Explorer TV in 1998 and 2002. In addition to editorial work, Steinmetz also does corporate and advertising photography. His commercial clients include Toshiba, Union Bank of Switzerland, General Motors, and Sigma Camera, among others.
Steinmetz has won numerous awards for photography during his career, including two first prizes in science and technology in 1995 and 1998 from World Press Photo. He has also won awards and citations from Pictures of the Year, Overseas Press Club, and the Alfred Eisenstaedt Awards.
His first book, African Air, is a compilation of ten years of flying in Africa, much of it done with a motorized paraglider. This experimental aircraft is the lightest and slowest motorized flying machine in the world and offers a unique perspective over remote landscapes. His second book, The Empty Quarter, documents three expeditions into the heart of Arabia, where he traversed the world's largest sand sea.
Born in Beverly Hills, California, in 1957, Steinmetz graduated from Stanford University with a degree in geophysics. He began his career in photography by hitchhiking through Africa for 18 months. Today he lives in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, with his wife and their three children.

Post subject: Non-touristy day trip outside Paris (with good food)?
My wife and I will be in Paris next week (we've been there several times) and I have been planning all sorts of yummy things based on Clotilde's wonderful book (thank you Clotilde!!!). However, I was wondering if anybody could recommend a good town/area to investigate outside of Paris (by train) with at least one known good restaurant, cafe, etc.
Ideally, a nice little town with nice walks/parks that doesn't have buses of people arriving every hour.

I am a great fan of Fontainebleau, which does get some tourists, but nowhere near as many as, say, Versailles. The chateau and gardens are well worth a visit, but even if you're not interested, you have easy access to the Forest of Fontainebleau, which is wonderful for walks. It's also quick and easy to get to from Paris (about 50 minutes by train from Gare de Lyon).
I can't recommend any specific restaurants... when I went I was a penniless assistante d'anglais so could only afford a sandwich from a boulangerie. But don't miss trying the local speciality, Fontainebleau cheese (which you should be able to find at most cheese shops).

Rachel beat me to it.
It is lovely there. We had a great lunch in a restaurant not far from the Chateau, but I cannot remember the name. Sorry.
There is a book called Day trips around Paris, which lists all sorts of day trips that you can access by car or train. It may be worthwhile getting hold of a copy. It lists all sorts of things, not just the touristy ones and so you might find something to appeal.
Good luck and don't forget to tell us all what you do and how it was
If you cannot feel your arteries hardening, eat more cheese. If you can, drink more red wine. Diet is just "die" with a "t" on the end. Exercise is walking into the kitchen.

Fontainebleau is definitely worth a visit - we were there last fall and thoroughly enjoyed it - even in the rain! While there are tourists, the grounds are so extensive that one isn't bothered by them. There are quite a few restaurants - we ate at the Le Grand Cafe, nothing fantastic but reasonable -(that might be the one you ate at Debby, it is right near the castle).

Yes, Provins was a great day trip! And the tourists were mostly French as Pestoman stated.
Pity we aren't friends Pestoman.......
That ice cream was heavenly!
The resto was so cute and the food was good.
Fontainebleau.... no we had really good food at the place we ate at. It was on a corner (I think) and there were a few restos in that area. I do remember it was near the parking station (there might be more than one though) that was underground.
Anyway, there are enough places to check out menus there that you will not go wrong.

Thanks for all the suggestions! As it turned out, the day that we were thinking of going on our little excursion (hadn't yet decided on the town), we were finally able to get in touch with some old friends in Marly-le-Roi and so we ended up going to their house instead. At least we got out of the city! It's hard to beat a 4 course French meal, served not in a restaurant, but in a family's dinning room. Yum!
Overall we really had a great trip, and Clotilde's book was simply outstanding! We also discovered how to beat jet lag: Arrive in Paris, drop your bags at your hotel, go to Les Papilles, eat their giant and incredible 4 course lunch formule with a bottle of wine, and head back to your hotel to take a monster nap. Just in time to freshen up and go out for the night! Jet lag cured.

How to Use Advanced Search
- How to Use the Advanced Search Form
- Advanced Search Fields
- Search Term Highlighting
- Searches Using the Operators AND, OR, and NOT
How to Use the Advanced Search Form
The Advanced Search form lets you focus your search, giving you more control over the results. You can access the advanced search form by:
- Clicking on the Advanced Search link found on the home page and at the top of every page under the search box
- Choosing Advanced Search from the Find Studies menu
- Clicking on Modify this search at the top of any Search Results list (see How to Modify a Search)
You can use the multiple search fields on the advanced search form to narrow or broaden your results. For example, you can specify the condition, recruitment status, age group of participants, and location where studies are conducted. See the Advanced Search Field Definitions for a complete list of options.
- Enter your search terms in one or more fields and click on Search.
- A list of search results will be displayed. The total number of studies found is shown at the top, along with your search terms.
- The first column of the search results list, Rank, indicates the order in which the studies are listed. Studies that most closely match your search terms are listed first. The Status column shows which studies are open, or recruiting new volunteers, and which studies are closed, or not recruiting new volunteers.
- You do not need to fill in all the search fields. Complete only the fields that are needed for your search.
- To do a basic search using the Advanced Search form, fill in the first field, labeled Search Terms.
- Click on a field label, such as Recruitment, to learn more about that field.
- Try using operators such as AND, OR, and NOT to broaden or narrow your search.
- If your search results do not include enough studies, consider clearing one or more search fields on the form and trying the search again.
Practice some sample searches:
Advanced Search Fields
The following search fields are available on the Advanced Search page. They are listed in the order in which they appear on the form. To view information on a search field, click on its name below. You can also click on the field label on the advanced search form to bring up a window containing information for that field.
Information and instructions for all fields are provided on the Advanced Search Field Definitions page.
Search Term Highlighting
The words you type in the Advanced Search Form fields will be highlighted in the text of each of the study records found by your search. Search words will be highlighted in pink, and synonyms for search words will be highlighted in yellow. For example, if your search words are heart attack, the words heart and attack will be highlighted in pink wherever they appear in each record. Synonyms for heart attack, such as myocardial infarction, will be highlighted in yellow.
Searches Using the Operators AND, OR, and NOT
Words such as AND, OR, and NOT (in all uppercase letters), called "operators," tell the ClinicalTrials.gov search function how the words in your search relate to each other.
- Use AND to find study records that contain all the words connected by AND.
Example: prostate cancer AND radiation
This search finds study records that contain information on both prostate cancer and radiation. Using AND narrows your search.
- Use OR to find study records that contain either word connected by OR.
Example: aspirin OR ibuprofen
This search finds study records containing either the word "aspirin" or the word "ibuprofen." Using OR broadens your search.
- Use NOT to find study records that do not contain the word following NOT.
Example: immunodeficiency NOT AIDS
This search finds study records containing the word "immunodeficiency" but excludes records containing the word "AIDS" from the search results.
- Use AND, OR, NOT, and parentheses to create more complicated search expressions.
Use parentheses in searches that contain more than one operator (AND, OR, NOT). This means that the words that are together in parentheses will be treated as a unit.
Example: (heart disease OR heart attack) AND (stroke OR clot)
This search finds study records containing either the phrase "heart disease" or "heart attack" as well as records containing either the word "stroke" or the word "clot."
- Using AND and OR as operators can sometimes be confusing.
The correct way to search for a phrase such as:
Ear, Nose, and Throat Conditions
is to enter:
(Ear OR Nose OR Throat) AND Conditions
However, the search will still recognize the phrase "Ear, Nose, and Throat."
- To search for and as a word, instead of using it as an operator, put it in quotation marks.
You can search for or, not, and parentheses in the same way.

Omaha breaks out ice choppers to clear streets
Omaha roads crews are now hauling out more hardware to battle ice and snow pack leftover from the city's last round of winter weather.
Traditional snow plows simply can't cut through the snow pack creating slick surfaces to walk and drive on. The city of Omaha has deployed four trucks with special blades, which hit the roads Thursday night.
Foreman Dawaune Hayes says the plows, called motor patrols, are needed now more than ever. The snow from last week's blizzard froze fast and Thursday morning, Mother Nature added another layer on top of it.
"The fresh snow over the ice, you really can't tell that it's an icy surface," Hayes told KETV Newswatch 7's Natalie Glucklich. "So cutting this off will give drivers more of a chance to stop on flat pavement then icy pavement."
Traditional plows are still out, too. Nearly 80 of them spent Thursday in residential neighborhoods were streets are still slick. Omaha Mayor Jim Suttle called last week's blizzard a storm that kept crews guessing.
"The snow was so wet, and the snow came down so quickly that it pretty much became an ice event as opposed to a snow event," said Suttle.
An ice event that now has a new enemy, pushing aside the slick stuff so everyone can drive a little easier.
The city is mostly clearing ice on highly traveled streets and roads around schools, churches and community centers.
If you have a particular concern, you are urged to contact the city. Mayor Suttle said Thursday the best way to do that was through the city's smart phone app, which can be downloaded for free through your phone. You can also call the Mayor's hotline, but earlier Thursday, the message box was full.

Festivity Level One
Your guests are sitting around chatting, nibbling the party food, sipping their drinks. They are admiring your Christmas tree ornaments and stand around the piano singing carols.
Festivity Level Two
Your guests are talking loudly, occasionally to one another. They are wolfing down the food, gulping their drinks, rearranging your Christmas ornaments and sitting on the piano singing I Gotta Be Me.
Festivity Level Three
Your guests are holding conversations with inanimate objects, gulping other peoples drinks, wolfing down Christmas ornaments and dancing around the piano shouting the words to I Cant Get No Satisfaction.
Festivity Level Four
Your guests, food smeared across their naked bodies, are capering around the burning Christmas tree in some unholy ritual. The piano is missing.
Unless you rent your home, or own heavy firearms, you generally dont want your parties operating above Level Three. The true test of party success, however, is whether or not the police arrive.
If they do arrive, your job as host is to see that they dont arrest anyone. If they are intent on arresting someone, your job is to see that it isnt you.
Following is an example of how to successfully handle this situation.
Police: Weve come in response to the complaints.
You: Complaints? It isnt about the drugs, is it?
Police: No, sir, not drugs.
You: The guns, then? Theyre complaining about the guns?
Police: No, sir. Its about the noise.
You: Oh, thats all right then. Cause there sure arent any guns or drugs here, heh heh.
[An explosion sounds somewhere behind you]
You: Or fireworks either! The neighbors complained, did they?
Police: No, sir. The neighbors all fled inland hours ago. The recent complaints have come from Kansas.
[At this point a Volkswagen Bug, painted in various arcane symbols, roars out of the living room, down the hall past you and the policemen, out into the front yard and into the nearest tree. Eight naked bodies tumble out, moaning.]
You: There, you see? Its winding down already.

Miller Amish Mennonite Church (West Liberty, Ohio, USA)
The Miller (or Indiana) Amish Mennonite Church at West Liberty, Ohio, now extinct, existed from 1883 to about 1902. It was made up of progressive members of the Warye-Plank faction of the Oak Grove and Walnut Grove congregations in the Logan and Champaign counties of Ohio. The introduction of English and four-part singing, the change of Sunday school to the forenoon (leaving the afternoon open for visiting), and English sermons by visiting ministers from Indiana, who organized the congregation under the Indiana Amish Mennonite Conference, attracted many young people to their services. Locally the group was known as the "Miller people" because Bishop Eli Miller of the Clinton Frame Mennonite Church in Elkhart County, Indiana organized the congregation and ordained Samuel Detweiler as their bishop and John H. Kauffman as minister. No meetinghouse was ever built; the group used the Oak Grove and Walnut Grove meetinghouses on the alternate Sundays when the regular congregation did not meet. Leading Sunday-school workers at Walnut Grove were D. D. Yoder, Detweiler and Kauffman, and the John Fett family, and at Oak Grove the Hooley brothers, Levi and Jonas. Soon after 1890 the Hooley brothers organized one of the earliest Ohio Young People's Bible Meetings. Weak ministerial leadership and a Church of God camp meeting caused a decline in the membership. Most of the small remaining membership united with the Bethel Mennonite Church in West Liberty. A few families returned to the Oak Grove and Walnut Grove congregations during the late 1890s.

When I watched Jim Flaherty step down
last month from office, the thought came to my mind
that he had some health issues, although no one on the news
said such a thing.
My shock confirmed what I thought last month.
He was a man of service and fortitude.
(anyone working in a government situation has to have that)
I, and I hope all Canadian's bow in respect to this great man and his family

Making Amends With the Car Gods
From: Cate Mangan
Hello Guys,
I would like to know what I need to do in order to ingratiate myself with the car gods. I have been very lucky in my 49 years, and have been known to say that I have been very lucky with both new and used cars. This caused my mechanic dad to sigh and look to heaven. In the last year I have been through no less than 6 cars, with the most bizarre situations caused who knows how. I have been run off the road and totaled, rolled and totaled, been on fire and had antifreeze fumes rolling into the car, had no less than three wheels come off while driving (2 in the same 100 feet!), blown a slave cylinder, had a radiator blow up, lost all the electric functions, had a horn start to blow and not stop... And I will stop there. What have I done to offend the car gods??? What can I do to make amends?

Welcome to day #27 of the Monster Energy 30-Day Countdown to the Anaheim season opener, which takes place on January 5, 2013. To mark each day as we count them down, we are presenting our list of the 30 best supercross racers of all-time, as voted on by the Racer X editorial staff and our contributors. So far we've counted Marty Tripes (30), Mike Kiedrowski (29) and Larry Ward (28). Today we reach our first Supercross Champion on the list, Donnie Hansen.
When the 1982 season started California's Donnie Hansen was one of several talented men on an extremely powerful Honda team. Darrell Shultz, Jim Gibson, Danny "Magoo" Chandler, Chuck Sun and future champions David Bailey and Johnny O'Mara all rode red and were poised to challenge for the title. But from the first race of the season at Anaheim, it was "Holeshot" Hansen who would lead not just his team, but every other rider in the 1982 AMA Supercross Championship fight. Hansen would enjoy a magical season, winning four main events on his way to taking the #1 plate away from Suzuki's Mark Barnett. He would also win the 250 Motocross Championship in what turned out to be the best year of his career.
Donnie Hansen's first and only Supercross title came in 1982.
Robert Price photo
Unfortunately, 1982 was the last year of Hansen's professional career. In September he traveled to Europe to begin preparations for leading Team USA in that year's Motocross and Trophee des Nations. He won the final 250 Grand Prix of the year in Sweden, then went to Germany to practice at fellow Honda rider Rolf Dieffenbach's house. It was there that Hansen suffered a debilitating concussion, severe enough to keep him from returning to professional racing.
Donnie Hansen's time at the top was way too brief. His style and technique were well ahead of the rest of the field at that time, and there's little doubt that he would have put up a solid title defense in 1983, which was won by his younger teammate Bailey, as well as contended for the title for many years to come. Instead, his career is an early cautionary tale for the repercussions of traumatic head injuries. The good news is that he eventually made a full recovery and helped raise a very fast son in Josh Hansen. He also still continues to ride and teach at the Donnie Hansen Motocross Academy (www.dhma.com).
To check out all of Donnie Hansen's race results in Monster Energy Supercross, check out his pages in the Racer X Vault.
Hansen was forced into early retirement in 1982 due to concussion symptoms.
